Pianist Hilton Ruiz is heard with a superior group of musicians adept at playing both bebop and Latin jazz. With a front line of trumpeter Charlie Sepulveda, David Sanchez on tenor and trombonist Papo Vazquez in addition to four percussionists, Ruiz's nonet displays plenty of fire on a set of originals, Pérez Prado's "Mambo Numero Cinco" and John Coltrane's "Impressions."~ Scott Yanow http://www.allmusic.com/album/manhattan-mambo-mw0000083168

Personnel: Hilton Ruiz (piano); David Sanchez (tenor saxophone); Charlie Sepúlveda (trumpet); Angel Papo Vasquez, Papo Vazquez (trombone); Steve Berrios (drums, cowbells, timbales, percussion); Ignacio Berroa (drums, timbales); Giovanni Hidalgo (congas, cowbells, bells, gong); Joe Gonzalez (bongos); Andy González (cowbells)

  1. Wow - had this when it was first released. He died in New Orleans under mysterious circumstances; official police report says he fell on his own and hit his head. Rumors still persist in NO that he was robbed and assaulted. Gone too soon regardless. Thanks, Giullia.
